ITGS Project

Bhargav Naik

Task 1 - Getting started with the Project

Project Management - important considerations
  • You must document all aspects of the project to authenticate it as your work - that means working on the product in class as well as at home
  • All communication with the client is to be documented - either via text or multimedia
  • Read: Introduction to Project Management
What you need to do now:
  • Find a client
  • Prepare a set of interview questions and conduct the interview - you may need to do this once, then send supplementary questions. Document all responses!
  • Identify the PROBLEM the client has
  • Discuss TWO possible solutions that involve higher level use of TWO pieces of SW

2. Read the document and think about what type of tools you would like to develop further
3. Think about the type of project you would like to develop in terms of client and area of impact.
4. Prepare a one minute pitch which advertises your 'potential' skills (remember that you will be expected to develop your technical skills more deeply).
5. Your pitch may comprise 4 slides:
  • Skills interested in developing (Technical Skills)
  • Area of Interest (Area of Impact)
  • Suggestions of the types of products you may be interested in developing
  • Type of client/organisation that you would like to work with (Area of Impact)

We will then be having a session in Elluminate on Tuesday April 26th at 8:00 in the evening where you will present your ideas and receive feedback.
